Child Care MoreAffordable

and the age of the child.Often, childcare costs are

higher than other household ex-penses and typically exceed theaverage amount families spendon food, mortgages, transporta-tion, and utilities. In 2012, in 31states and the District of Colum-bia, the average annual cost forchild care for an infant in a childcare center was higher than ayear’s tuition and fees at a four-year public college.

Despite the importance of high-quality childcare to school readi-ness and later success, 260,000fewer children received childcareassistance in 2012 than 2006. TheChildren First Act will expandfunding for childcare assistancefor low-income families throughthe Child Care and DevelopmentBlock Grant (CCDBG), one of themain federal funding sources thatsupports early care and education.Approximately 2.6 million chil-dren receive federal subsidies orvouchers to help manage the highcosts of child care.

Crowley’s legislation will in-crease funding for these subsidiesby $18.8 billion over ten years.This increased funding, combinedwith other federal sources, wouldallow approximately 1.4 millionmore children to have access tosafe and affordable child care inthe first year alone.

“We are thrilled about thislegislation and honored that Con-gressman Crowley chose to an-nounce it here at our site,” said

Traci Donnelly, The ChildCenter’s Executive Director. “Byinvesting in quality early child-hood education and child care,we make it possible for parentsto go to work knowing that theirchildren are safe and cared for sothey can build a better future.Parents are our true partners andwhile they focus on gainful em-ployment, we work to ensurethat their young children are de-veloping on track and that theyreceive a solid foundation thatwill help foster this success inschool. The early years offer usa special window of opportu-nity, to help children have thebest life outcomes. Thank you,Congressman Crowley for join-ing this mission and for fightingto keep these young children onthe agenda in Washington.”

“Congressman Crowley’svigilance on increasing child carefunding signals to the country thatwe must commit the necessaryresources to build upon a highquality early care educational sys-tem,” said Day Care Council ofNew York Executive DirectorAndrea Anthony. “Parents willalways have the choice whether touse child care services, but forthose who need it because of em-ployment or school, it will pro-vide tremendous support.”

The Children First Act willgreatly benefit New York, wherethe average price of full-time carein center based settings total$14,939 for an infant and $12,355for a preschooler. More than 40,000New York City families are cur-rently estimated to be on a waitlistfor childcare subsidies.

“Making child care more af-

fordable for families is just onepiece of the puzzle – we mustalso focus our energies on othereconomic challenges facingwomen and families today,”continued Crowley. “That’swhy Democrats in Congresshave launched the Women’sEconomic Agenda – to focus onpolicies like raising the mini-mum wage, equal pay for equalwork, and increased investmentin job training that address thereal economic needs of womenand families.”

Crowley introduced the Chil-dren First Act in the 111th Con-gress, and again in the 112thCongress. The legislation is sup-ported by leading national advo-cacy groups, including: Ameri-can Federation of State, Countyand Municipal Employees(AFSCME), Children’s DefenseFund, CLASP, Early Care andEducation Consortium, LocalInitiatives Support Coalition,National Children’s FacilitiesNetwork, First Five Years Fund,Easter Seals, National Associa-tion for the Education of YoungChildren, National Women’sLaw Center, RESULTS, Savethe Children, Service Employ-ees International Union, andZERO TO THREE.

Delay In Vote For AlternateLocation For DisplacedP.S. 11 Kindergartners

Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens, theBronx), Vice Chair of the Democratic Cau-cus, released the statement below regard-ing New York City Public Schools Chan-cellor Carmen Fariña’s decision to delaythe Panel for Education Policy vote on theproposal to relocate P.S. 11 students to P.S.171 in Astoria:

“I am encouraged by the collaborativeeffort by the Department of Education, theSchool Construction Authority and theMayor’s Office to delay the vote on theproposal to bus over 250 kindergartnersfrom Woodside to a school almost threemiles away in Astoria. Every alternativemust be considered to ensure that theseyoung children receive a quality educationwithout having to be uprooted from theirhome community.

I call on the Department of Educationand the School Construction Authority touse this time to once again, consider theserious concerns of the parents and electedofficials with their current proposal.

While the expansion of P.S. 11 is anecessary investment in our children’s edu-cation and vitally important to alleviatingour overcrowded schools, our youngest stu-dents deserve a better solution that doesn’tplace such a heavy burden on them and their

families. Our children only get one realopportunity at a great education and we needour city to do right by them.”

“I would like to thank both ChancellorCarmen Farina and Mayor Bill de Blasio fortheir decision to delay the PEP vote on theplan to relocate the school’s kindergarten stu-dents from P.S. 11 to P.S. 171. I would urgethe Department of Education to use this delayto listen to the concerns of CongressmanCrowley, my colleagues in government, par-ents and the community and come back withbetter alternatives that works for all partiesinvolved,” said Assemblywoman Nolan.

Last month, Rep. Crowley along withNYS Senator Michael Gianaris, NYSAssembly Members Catherine Nolanand Margaret Markey, and NYC Coun-cil Member Jimmy Van Bramer, werejoined by P.S. 11 parents at a pressconference to denounce the NYC De-partment of Education’s final recom-mendation to move forward with theplan, despite concerns it places a sig-nificant burden on parents and theiryoung children. In January, Crowley,Gianaris, Nolan and Markey sent a let-ter to Chancellor Fariña urging DOE toreconsider the plan, expressing concernfor the students and their families.

Shutdown Letter Sent ToMTA Regarding 7 Train

Following miscommunications betweenthe MTA and Long Island City residents andbusiness owners regarding the agency’s plansto help the neighborhood cope with inces-sant 7 train closures, Senator MichaelGianaris, Queens Borough President MelindaKatz, Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan andCouncilman Jimmy Van Bramer demandedthe MTA communicate openly with com-munity representatives moving forward.

“With this letter we intend to keep theMTA focused on keeping its lines of commu-nication with Long Island City open,” saidSenator Gianaris. “We are all struggling withthe effects of 7 train closures and now is notthe time for the MTA to ignore the concernsof the community. The MTA needs to re-spond to questions voiced by LIC residentsand I will continue to hold its feet to the fireuntil more progress is made on this issue.”

“The residents and business owners ofLong Island City are experiencing a greatdeal of inconvenience as a result of themultiple weekend closures of the 7 line and

this planned advertising campaign is sup-posed to help compensate for that inconve-nience,” Borough President Katz said. “Wehave to make sure the MTA does what ittakes to make sure this campaign is aneffective one. I hope the MTA heeds thecommunity’s concerns and provides thecommitments and assurances the commu-nity is seeking.”

“The reduction in 7 line service is veryunfair and wrong,” said AssemblywomanCatherine Nolan. “I would urge the MTAand the residents of Long Island City tocontinue to work out an agreement both onthe marketing campaign that was initiallypromised to the community and additionalprograms such as a shuttle from the Vernon-Jackson stop. I support the Long Island CityArtists, Merchants, Queens CommunityBoard 2, Long Island City Partnership andother community leaders and residents whoare advocating for the neighborhood and Iam very disappointed that the MTA has notbeen able to provide a better response.”

The event turnout was a complete success, thanks to the Director of the Housingdepartment and host of the event, Mrs. Maritza Muñoz. And of course the staff and willinghardworking volunteers, which allowed the organization to raise money for its depart-ment. Many prizes were given out to the winners of the bingo event such as WOTMembroidered bags, mugs, shirts, and gift certificates from Champion Supermarket, eachvalued at $40. During the event a raffle was hosted as well as WOTM’s version of the wheelof fortune. We are looking forward to seeing you at our next event.
